Bookings for the scooter were opened in July 2025, with a price tag of Rs. 1.49 lakh, ex-showroom. The Xoom 160 was initially launched earlier this year, but its delivery was delayed due to various constraints.

In terms of features, the Xoom 160 boasts LED illumination, remote key ignition, smart key, and a digital instrument console. Its unique adventure-style design sets it apart from other scooters in the market.
